Three equal signs checks to ensure they are both the same type and the
same value.
Otherwise you can have the potential problem of the user entering a zero
for username and password. PHP could then try to compare as integers
instead of strings - and convert 'steven' and 'crocker' to zero. The
comparison would then be true.
